Pros:
This bat is a great power bat for power hitters. It even hit rockets right out of the box and is even better when it 8s broken in. I really recommend this bat to power hitters.Cons:I really liked this bat in yellow more than neon orange because it makes me feel i have a MAKO and i personally think the MAKO wasnt a great bat. Other than that this bat has no cons.

can you use this bat in babe ruth because I was searching it up on the internet and it said it has to adleast be .50 alloy or can not be used in game.

This bat is not approved for any division in Babe Ruth Baseball. Essentially, for you to be able to use a bat with a composite barrel, like this 2015 Easton XL1 Senior League -8 Baseball Bat (SL15X18), it has to be a BBCOR certified model with a -3 length to weight ratio. Depending on the player's age and division, that may not be a requirement. But to be able to use something lighter, like a -8 length to weight ratio, the barrel must be made of Alloy; not composite. If you know what division you're in and the age of the player, please feel free to give us a call or reply to this email for more recommendations on what is approved in your division.

Is this bat the same bat as last year's version, except for the paint?

The update to the 2015 Easton XL1 Senior League -8 Baseball Bat (SL15X18) is cosmetic.

Would you suggest this bat for an 11 year old who currently swings the XL1 Youth Bat in a 31" model?

For a player of his age, the 2015 Easton XL1 Senior League -8 Baseball Bat (SL15X18) will likely be too heavy as he is moving from a drop 10 to a drop 8. End-loaded models do have a tendency to feel slightly heavier than their listed weight due to a different pivot point and mass distribution. You could consider the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) which will be offered in a drop 9, and has a more balanced feel than the XL1. Additionally, the size of the sweet spot on the MAKO is quite a bit larger.
